Before it opens to the public, Kiran Rao has decided to host a screening of the film for her peers in the industry. The event will be held at a suburban theatre on Thursday night.

A source close to Kiran says, "The guest list includes names like Rajkumar Hirani, Gauri Shinde, Vinod Chopra, Reema Kagti, Prasoon Joshi and a few others."

When contacted, Kiran confirmed the development. "I’m having a screening for a few friends who I am hoping will be as moved as I was by it," she says, adding, "Gulabi Gang is not just a really good film, I think it’s a really important film, and so I wanted to help it gain some attention within the film industry and also in the public space."
